Masks are less than effective during a cough or sneeze due to the blowby.

I did see a woman take off her mask in a Publix to sneeze contaminating both hands in the process.

Most people don't know how to use them correctly so I suspect the risk reduction is a wash. Masks are more safety theater than not.
